Hi Arul,
Glad you solve it. Jersey and JAX-RS do not support the reading/writing
of primitive types for entities. The main reason is it is simply not
clear in general what the serialization format for such primitive types
should be.
You could add your own message body writer for Boolean (see the
EntityProvider example distributed with Jersey), but IMHO conversion to
a String works just fine for such cases.
